Silverfish infestation?

How many silverfish must you see in order for it to be called an
"infestation"? Years ago I saw them frequently in the summer, but
never in the winter. In recent years, I've seen them in the winter
too (although not as frequently in the summer) - must be global
warming. In the summer, I see maybe an average of 2-3 per day around
the house. Not that I'm actively searching for them, so there's
probably a bunch that I don't see crawling around. Is it normal to
see them everyday?
A few times in the last few weeks, I have even been woken up suddenly
by a ticklish feeling on my arm, to find a silverfish crawling on me!

Destroy habitat and they should go away. There are pesticides that
should create a barrier for these and other pests. Go to a garden center
and start reading labels.

source as any for info.
